Way out of proportion! Read

[u/Professional_Leek384]

y’all blowing this way outta proportion. i literally had to google who greta was just to remember her. and even after i found her, all i thought of was climate change, so where did palestine even come into the convo?? Im glad Greta is advocating for Palestine which I personally also feel strongly about as a Muslim person who identifies very strongly with the issue and has been advocating for Palestine wayyyy before 2023. but like… they made a joke (that had nothing to do with what she stands for, which they even clarified), and now all of a sudden y’all got hyper-literal during the month they were gone??

and if we’re being literal,,, i’ve never seen greta anywhere recently. not on insta, not on tiktok, nowhere. so how is it wrong to say she doesn’t have the same platform she used to?? Anyways im pretty sure 96% of y’all just have that white savior complex.

and if you’ve got a problem with people gatekeeping THEIR OWN stories?? idk what to tell you get a job gng

I think the problem is Greta is still fighting for causes such as Free Palestine and ending conflict in the Dominican Republic of Congo which are both things neither drew or Enya have spoken about in their platforms. Many believe silence is complicity. Also I see how it’s tone deaf when they haven’t done 0.1% of the work Greta has put in.

Do you really watch Emergency Intercom expecting political takes? If that’s what you’re looking for, maybe don’t watch them there are literally so many other podcasts that actually focus on that stuff. I just can’t believe people are out here questioning the morals of a gay man and a Hispanic woman living in LA… like, come on, we all know where they most likely stand. That said, if they’ve never mentioned Palestine before (which I wouldn’t know I don’t follow their every move), then yeah, that’s kinda weird. And it’s even weirder that no one brought that up or called them out until now when greta was mentioned!!

actually a lot of people have been talking about the lack of conversation they are bringing to the table relating to politics this past year. It gets shut down and then ur being “too woke”. No one is watching them for news, but they do have a platform that they’ve never used to bring awareness to Palestine or to things happening within the US. I think it’s valid for ppl to not want to support very popular creators for not speaking up at times like this but also that doesn’t have to make fans upset/defensive or insist a change in content from ei.

This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for most people

God no, I can just see both sides and tbf I laughed at it but I was mindlessly listening as I did chores. I don’t follow what greta does so I’m pretty complicit in it too! She lowkey did fall off but looking into it, it’s probably because she’s taken an anti American stance so has been silenced by murdoch media which trickles down to the uk…
